J. Malick III "Spartans" Select Football Trading Card

This item is a modern sports trading card, specifically a football card, from the "Select" series by Panini. The card features a dynamic action shot of a running back, presumably Jordon Malick (due to the visible 'Malick' and 'JIII' which strongly suggests J. Malick III), in a gray and white uniform with what appears to be a number 8 or 9 on his chest, carrying a football. The background shows blurred red and white elements, likely opposing players. The card's design includes striking blue and gold foil accents along the borders, giving it a premium aesthetic. The top center of the card clearly states "SELECT" in gold lettering, indicating its series. Below the player image, a dark bar with gold lettering identifies the player as "J. MALICK III" and includes "SPARTANS™", suggesting his team affiliation. The card appears to be in very good condition with no visible creases, tears, or significant surface abrasions, indicating it has been well-preserved. It is part of a larger set often collected by enthusiasts. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard commercial quality for modern trading cards, utilizing glossy cardstock and metallic foil printing techniques. Its estimated age is contemporary, likely from the early 2020s, given the 'Select' line's recent production.
